I've forgotten my PIN for my old phone

I got a new phone, it's all set up. I want to wipe my old i6 and give it to someone else to use, however I've forgotten my six digit code.

You'll have to put it in DFU mode and restore through iTunes. You will lose your data, including photos, unless you have a back up to use.
